If your vape isn't hitting right, don't panic. Most problems have a simple fix. Start with these three checks:

• Is it charged? For rechargeables, plug it in for at least 15 minutes. For disposables, if it's dead, it's dead—no amount of shaking will bring it back.
• Is the airflow clear? Check the mouthpiece and side vents. Pocket lint and dust can block airflow, making the draw tight or the vapor weak.
• Is the coil wet? If you just refilled a pod or it's a new disposable, give it a few minutes to wick. Dry hits taste burnt and harsh.

If you've done all that and it still fails, move to the next step.
